8. Talk about causes of visual pollution
1. Talk about types of pollution.
Nowadays there are a lot of types of pollution such as air pollution, water
pollution, visual pollution .. and noise pollution. Noise pollution is constant and
loud sound. To measure the loudness, or volume of sounds, people use a unit
called a decibel.When a sound is louder than 70 decibels, it can cause noise
pollution. Do you know that the noise from a vacuum cleaner or motorcycle can
result in permanent hearing loss after eight hours? The sounds of a concert are
even more serious. Noise pollution can also lead to headaches and high blood
pressure. If you are listening to music through headphones, aand other people
can hear it, it means the music is too loud and unsafe
2. Talk about causes and affects of water pollution
Nowadays there are several types of pollution. However, water pollution is one
of the most serious in our area. It is caused by several factors. Firstly, families
dump sewage into the river. In the past it was a very beautiful river, but now the
water is most back. Secondly, there are two new factories in our area, and they
are dumping chemical waste into the lake and river. Thirdly, pesticides are
another source of pollution. Farmers in our area usually use these to kill insects.
Water pollution badly affects our area. We do not have enough fresh water to
water the plants and crops. People can not raise fish in the river and the lake
because the water there is so polluted. In addition, there are no more wild ducks
near the river today since they can not find fish for food. Another negative effect
is that sometimes in the afternoon there is a bad smell from the polluted river, so
people do not like walking along it anymore.
People in our area are all aware of this problem, and we are thinking of some
ways to solve it.
3. Talk about an English speaking country.
Nowadays English is an important role in our life, so there are many English
speaking countries in the world. Scotland is one of English speaking country
Scotland is in the north of Great Britain. It is famous for its rich culture as well
as its amazing natural beauty. Visitors to this land can spend endless days
exploring its historic centuries-old castles. But be aware - legend says that some
of them are haunted by ghosts. Fun-lovers can experience its world-famous
festival, the Highland Games where they can enjoy unique Scottish activities
such as the piping, drumming, and dancing. They can also see traditional sports,
or drink whisky with the local people. Driving through vast green pastures, or
boating on scenic lakes - or lochs - are other attractions that Scotland offers.
4. Talk about types of natural disasters and preparations for natural
disasters?
Today, there are more and more natural disasters that most people affect. In my
opinion, we can not prevent natural disaster but we can have some preparation
for them. There are many types of natural disasters but typhoon is a popular in
our country. Firstly, typhoon is a tropical storm with wind and heavy rain. When
it strike, it can weak havoc across large areas and effect lot of life or extensive
damage to property. Flood can be happened by long heavy rain and people also
can be became homeless. Last year lots of people were seriously in jure in a
typhoon. Natural disasters are also very dangerous but we also have some
simple preparation, The first step is learnt about the risk in your area and read
the information about natural disasters on government site. Next, find out that
the rescue and emergency workers advice. It’s also important that you put
together emergency supply it and should include food, water, medicine ,
document and some money. Finally, plan safe places to meet your family and get
to know the evacuation routes and shelter.
In short, everyone should protect environment to reduce this natural disasters
5. Talk about ways of communication, what is communication in the future?
Communication is a necessary for everyone. In present, there are three basic
forms of communication: verbal, non- verbal and multimedia.
First,verbal ( meeting F2F) is a important way of communication help you
success. I like hanging out with my friends and when I meet F2F with them I
feel very confident. It explains why I can speak English easily. Let’s try! You
will have a great time. Secondly, it you have a different thing to say non- verbal
( using signs) will be a good choice. For example you make your mother sad you
can use a sign to say “ sorry” to her. Thirdly, with develop of science and
technology, many multimedia appear such as: video chatting, emailing… You
can know more information despite you still stay at home but in the future, we
can use telepathy or holography. Telepathy uses a tiny device place into our
head. We will be communicating just by thought over the network. Holography
will help us in our work. Even though, I prefer to chat with my friend- life is
more meaningful that way!
6. Talk about about advantages and disadvantages of smart phones?
Nowsdays, smart phone becomes popular and useful in our modern life. It has
many benefits in our daily life. Most of people believed that is not harmful to
users. In my opinion, Smart phone has advantages and disadvantages
One of the main advantages of smart phone is that it is fast and convenient way
to communication with others. We can make a call anywhere at anytime. For
example: if we have relative or friends that live abroad, we can call them easily
in just a minute. Another function of smart phone is that we can send messages.
Moreover, we can use it as a computer to surf on the internet. It helps us relax
after a hard working day. For example: for me, I usually listen to music and read
some information on the internet before going to bed.
On the other hand, smart phone has disadvantages. Users spend too much time
on it to play games, watch movies especially children. It is very harmful to our
health, even cancers because of radio waves. According to a recent research,
about 5 percent of men have no children because of using smart phone
In conclusion, smart phone is a useful equipment and convenient but it makes
some negative effects to users like time- consuming and harmful to our health
7. Talk about life on other planets?
There are no scientists to find on other planets but my fantasy story can become
real in the future. In 2250 people will be finding life on Neptune- the eight
planet in the Solar System. In this planet, the climate is very cold so only aliens
can live in here. The winds are very strong and everything is freezing, so they
don’t have water. To be able to survive here, they also have build their cities.
In underground, a hundred kilometers beneath the surface. Everday they need
only three hours for sleep. Four hours to work and the reat of the day, they spend
on their leisure activity. Most of them like tavelling to new cities
For new experiment. They are small but very fast to fly.
What a great planet! What about? Let’s share with your idea to everyone.
8. Talk about causes of visual pollution
Visual pollution can happen outside or inside your house. When you are in the
street, do you look around and see too many telephone poles, overhead power
lines, or advertising billboards?
This is known as a ‘negative visual environment’, and it causes visual pollution.
For many communities, visual pollution also includes uncut weeds, graffiti,
litter, and even badly cared-for buildings. This kinds of pollution can be present
in your house, too. If you dump clothes or school things on the floor, it causes
visual pollution. A room with too much furniture placed in an untidy way is
another example of visual pollution in the house.You may not know that when
you go out without wearing appropriate clothing, you can also cause this type of
pollution.
